Vogel: A Gentleman for all seasons...
...helping of some wisdom was served up by none other than Stedsman Peter Vogel ’12, legal counselor and former Steds SUB freshman representative. As the keynote speaker at tonight’s Order of the Gentlemen dinner in the Oak Room of South Dining Hall, Vogel imparted not only words of wisdom but also pearls of knowledge…an added bonus for sure.
Later, Logan Arnold ’19 was recognized for his service to the Hall- the creating and directing of the position of iHAAC, the in-Hall Academic and Arts Commissioner. Promoting academic discussions with faculty, cultivating an appreciation of the arts, and encouraging peer mentoring among the Stedsmen, this position is the proverbial “game changer” so much that the University is using it as a model and template for other halls to emulate. Once again, Steds is leading the way.
Stepping out of his grad school class and after phoning in some brief remarks from Seattle, Arnold was inducted into the Hall's Order of Gentlemen for "action faithful and honor clear to Hall and King." While he will be remembered along with other recipients by a plaque in the Hall's main lobby, Arnold was given a small plaque and a specially minted coin commemorating this high honor. On his induction, Arnold said, “I was disappointed I couldn’t be there in person, but I was more than happy to call-in! It truly is an honor!”
... and the Gentlemen learned a thing or two... or maybe even three.
